Windows 10: My PC started crashingand my games too , after turning on secure boot .

I redownloaded a game which required all windows 11 users to have secure boot enabled . I did it but after that i have had constant crashing at any given time , could be within 30 mins of me turning my pc on or hours later . After every crash a I get served with "Event 10016" , which I am familiar with and have treated it by simply updating my BIOS . But now my BIOS is already up to date so it lead me to the conclusion that it's secure boot causing this . Is this possible and can I fix it ?

PC Bootlooping after June Security Update

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand the concern as you are having difficulties on the PC after installing a Windows Update.
In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

• What is the Version and Build of Windows 10 installed on the PC? (Type
  winver in Windows search/Run command)
• What is the model number of the HP PC?

• What is the KB number of the Security update installed prior to this issue?
  
• Which update are you attempting to remove?
  
• Are you able to boot the PC to the desktop?
  
• Do you have any non-Microsoft Antivirus/security program installed?
  

Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform step 1, 2 & 3 if you are able to boot the PC to desktop and step 4 if you are unable to boot.

Step 1:
Run the Windows Updates Troubleshooter:

Select the Start button, and then select Settings>Update & Security
> Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows updates > Run the troubleshooter.

Step 2: Reset Windows Update Components

We would suggest you to refer the steps as mention in this article:
How do I reset Windows Update components?

Step 3: Clean boot

Try booting your PC in clean boot. Refer to the article on How to perform
a clean boot in Windows

Note: Clean Boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs, so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program. Also, you may not be able to use some
programs in clean boot.

If performing a clean boot fixes the issue then, please refer to the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to check which program is causing the issue.

Note: Please refer the section Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting
to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting.

Step 4: System Restore using WinRE use bootable media

1. Use the Bootable media to boot the PC.
   

1. Boot from the media and choose “Repair your computer.”
2. Under Advanced troubleshooting, select Troubleshoot.
3. Under Advanced options screen, you will see
   System Restore.

Secure boot isn't turning on in HP laptop (windows 11)

Hello Mohd_357,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I understand the frustration you’re facing with Secure Boot on your HP laptop. Let’s troubleshoot this issue step by step:

1. Load HP Factory Default Keys:
   
   • Go into the BIOS settings.
     
   • Navigate to System Configuration > Boot Options.
     
   • Look for an option to Load HP Factory Default Keys. If available, select it.
     
   • Check if Secure Boot becomes available after doing this.
     
2. Disable Fast Startup:
   
   • Boot into your operating system (Windows 11).
     
   • Open Settings.
     
   • Go to Updates & Security > Recovery.
     
   • Click Restart Now under “Advanced startup.”
     
   • Wait for your PC to boot into the system recovery menu.
     
   • Select Troubleshoot and then choose Advanced options.
     
   • Finally, select UEFI Firmware Settings.
     
3. Check BIOS Mode:
   
   • Ensure that your Windows 11 installation is in UEFI mode, not legacy mode.
     
   • If your notebook’s BIOS mode is set to legacy, you won’t be able to enable Secure Boot. You may need to reinstall Windows 11 from an EFI boot source.
     
4. Reset BIOS settings to Default:
   
   • Reset BIOS settings may restore secure boot settings to normal factory state.
     

Regarding TPM 2.0:

• Your PC may not have TPM (Trusted Platform Module) support, which is required for Windows 11.
  
• Additionally, Windows 11 requires an Intel 8th gen core processor or newer.
  

I hope it can solve your problem.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.



Best Regards,

 

Windows 8 Secure Boot Feature: Not So Secure?

So Linux is switching to secure boot also? Or they have to because of UEFI?
